Château Beauséjour
Château Beauséjour was a wine estate in Saint-Estèphe, distinct from the similarly named estates on the Right Bank. Classified as a Cru Bourgeois in 1932, it lost its autonomous identity after its acquisition in 1992 and its integration, along with Château Picard, into the new Château Haut-Beauséjour.

Histoire du domaine
Château Beauséjour appears in early editions of Cocks et Féret and already belonged to the Brossard family in 1922. The property obtained the Cru Bourgeois status in 1932, like neighboring Château Picard. In 1992, Jean-Claude Rouzaud, then president of Champagne Louis Roederer, acquired the two Saint-Estèphe estates from the Brossard family. Their vineyards, together representing 27 hectares of vines according to the house's professional documents, were united under the name Château Haut-Beauséjour; the parcels deemed most promising formed its core. The cellars and vat house were completely renovated in 1993. Château Beauséjour thus no longer exists as a current independent operation, which makes it impossible to attribute with certainty a contemporary surface area, annual production, owner, or cellar master.
